Give your home a dedicated display
Walk by and set the room’s lighting just right. When things quiet down, keep time and your home’s status in view. Hearth puts Apple Home on a screen within reach.
More than a clock
Choose a built-in clock or create a Modular screensaver. Save up to three custom screensavers for free.
Tap to switch. Glide to adjust.
Adjust room lighting, target temperature, or curtain position directly from the room’s control cards.
Comfort for a dedicated display
Set dashboard and screensaver brightness separately. Night Mode and burn-in reduction are included for everyone.
No Hearth account required
HomeKit data is processed on your device and is not sent to the developer. Optional settings sync uses your iCloud account.
Your home, at a glance
Build a Modular screensaver with clocks, indoor temperature and humidity, home status, a date calendar, and battery level. Choose a layout, resize and rearrange modules, then make it yours from the preview.
A glide to set the room’s light
Glide up or down on the lighting card to adjust room brightness. Tap to switch the lights on or off, or press and hold for more lighting controls. The card opens into a slider right where your finger is, making a quick adjustment part of passing through the room.
Make it feel at home
Choose a built-in gradient for each room. With Pro, use your own photo and match the interface appearance to the background.
A place for your iPhone, too
Keep Hearth open on your bedside iPhone for a quiet clock and room controls. The dashboard works in portrait and landscape; choose when it enters the screensaver.
Set the pace for day and night
Choose separate brightness settings for the dashboard and screensaver. Scheduled Night Mode and subtle pixel shifting are now free, helping reduce OLED burn-in risk. These features cannot eliminate display wear.
